APCh8r Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Alright, looking to buy a new canopy because my quick shade has finally called it quits. I am looking for suggestions from everyone on where to find a good 10x10 or 12x12 canopy that will be able to withstand some abuse and weather. The quick shade got beat up by some wind at Beaver Run and I want to avoid this and find something that can withstand that. Not looking to break the bank on this, but also not looking for some cheap $60 junk from Walmart.Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myhondas Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sam's Club has a good one...I believe it is either $159 or $179. Think is is the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Where's the iron pony one you had @ putnam?that belongs to the shop, I was able to use that when I use to be there when we had a large group. I had my own 12x12 also but it has finally broke after 3 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Alright, so back on topic...who has suggestions on a good quality canopyNick, go to Dick's or order online. EZ-Up brand is what you want. Most sturdy and best quality outside an arm and a leg type ones that are above that.For what you'll be doing, EZ-Up is the cheapest bet.

r1crusher Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I would also suggest going one step further and make sure that you get one with a vented top. This will help keep it from turning into a giant umbrella and getting blown away.I don't know that EZ-UP brands offer this type of canopy construction, but it's something to keep in mind IMO.

Typically, those are for patios and the like. Not open air areas like a paddock. Vents no good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Really. Maybe we're not thinking of the same thing. Thing of a wind proof golf umbrella...same concept just on a pop-up canopy instead.Are we on the same page? If we are, then your experiences have been different than mine I guess.

If we are, then your experiences have been different than mine I guess.Yeah, the top is a cover of sorts... Like a golf umbrella like you mentioned. The thing is that when we get really hard rains that are blowing sideways, it travels up the canopy and gets into the vented area. Drips water all over everything...Like our race team haulers on our semis - they don't have a single vent area for this reason as it will cause leaks under heavy rains and that is a no go when it is time to be working on bikes with exposed parts like carbs, intake ports, etc exposed...Know what I mean, Vern?

madcat6183 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nick, stop being a DB and just get a full carport style one. If mine was plastic, wait, my friends is. I can get that for us to use. It will fit a car in it, PVC pulls, and super quick setup, 10 mins. Not as fast as an ez up, but you could live under this.I can bring to any of our events. Its like the carport steel ones, but with PVC poles so super light.http://www.creativeshelters.com/Canopy-Kits/Canopy-Kits-Directory.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 My dads bigger Ford one is an EZ up, just more hardcore and way nicer than anything you can buy in the store , and custom made for his car size. But I am sure we can take that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
